Intro
F   Dm Gm C C7/Bb

Verse 1
F                                                        Dm 
I’ve tried but I don’t believe her. She lies she’s a deceiver.
Gm                                               C    C7/Bb
I might, I might just leave her be.
F                                          Dm
Alone in my apartment, lights out I’m in the dark again.
Gm                              C        C7/Bb
I’ll wait for someone to rescue me………to save me.

Pre-Chorus
Dm 
And if she throws her heart away,
Am
I’ll be there on garbage day,
Dm
To sift through what’s left I guess,
Am                              Am Ab Gm
To sort through the loneliness.

Chorus                                                                    
Gm
                                                         Dm Dsus4 Dm Dsus2
And I don’t mind, no I don’t mind if all the neighbours can see me.
A7                                                                    
I’ll take whatever I can get when I can get it, 
          Bb        F          Dm Gm C C7/Bb
it’s that easy………oh believe me.

Verse 2
I’ve known so long, it’s been on my mind. Full blown by now and I’m wasting time.
I’ll leave it all up to her to decide.
And she sighs and says she can’t feel love, she tries but just can’t conceive of.
A life without so much pain inside.

Pre-Chorus
Dm 
And if she throws her heart away,
Am
I’ll be there on garbage day,
Dm
To sift through what’s left I guess,
Am                    Am Ab Gm
To sort through the loneliness

Chorus                                                                    
Gm
                                                         Dm Dsus4 Dm Dsus2
And I don’t mind, no I don’t mind if all the neighbours can see me. Yeah!
A7                                                                    
I’ll take whatever I can get when I can get it, 
          Bb           
it’s that easy.

Dm
Oh believe me.
Dm/B
It’s that easy.

Dm/Bb   Dm/B

Dm
So believe me.
Dm/B
Its that Easy.
Dm/Bb
So believe me.
Dm/B
Its so easy.

And I know, I won’t see her here again.
